Again, I can’t mind my own business or at least focus/pay attention to praying.
While waiting for this morning’s mass to begin at 8:00am, I noticed that the elderly Asian couple sitting two pews from us were “looking” behind their backs. Of course, old timers tend to be more sensitive. For example, when we sat down, the old woman looked behind her right shoulder. Later, the elderly reptile (sitting in the back most pew of the right rear), the old man would look behind his right shoulder. Sitting behind the same people may appear normal but not comfortable.
In another example, the threesome who are from the Couples for Christ sat in their usual pew recently. The woman, again, pretended to get a tissue paper from her Coach bag and began to wipe her watery nose. I could see the WHOLE left side of her face as she looked behind her left shoulder. She does this ALL the time and deliberately. One would think she is prayer but has roving eyes.
The guy from Batangas, Philippines would sit near the aisle. He too would look far over his left shoulder. During the “exchange of peace”, the old fart would wave at Paw, who was sitting SIX pews behind these creeps. Paw didn’t return his glance or wave and hopefully his should send a message to these people to go away.
Later, Fred came by to greet Maw. He is quite friendly but used to sit on the right rear section of the pew while Rose, his late wife, was still alive. He now sits one pew behind us. To give the old fart the space of one person between Maw and me, I scooted rather quickly to the left. I didn’t want to be near his cooties as his knelt down temporarily until he moved towards the middle section of the long pew. I can be RUDE because creeps like him won’t go away. I didn’t bother greeting him, by the way.
In another example, another older Vietnamese guy and his “wife” came in late. They sat in front of us. Maw and Paw reported that the guy smelled like homeless urine. The woman, who is Buddhist, also smelled of faint sweaty soup. Besides the crowding effect, bad odor is also another attempt to annoy us.
Maw and Paw saw Ben and Min. It appears Ben is too controlling of Min, who kept looking in our direction. I didn’t see them because I was pissed from my observations among the pretentious nutters attending my local parish. I am sure this couple is wondering why we are sitting towards the back now.
